A possum wee's on your boyfriends head!
The other night as we were walking down the road we were showing our friend Emma all the local possums who live down our street, we watched a very brave possum tight rope walk along a telephone cable, then stop to wee on Steve's head! Luckily we were just off to the local swimming pool so he didn't smell to much like wee for very long!
We have had a great week here! It started by finding a local Cinema that plays old retro films. We went to see Ferris Buelers Day off. I am going to see Fame their on Monday. Tuesday was spent in a local bar sitting by their log fire sipping red wine. Wednesday after the possum weeing session we went to the sea baths, a salty warm swimming pool - interesting, only all my silver jewelry went black! Thursday I went out with Kate for a girlie theatre night and watched an amazing show of Gothic Fairy Tales. It was part art installation and mostly performance but was excellent. Friday night was spent having a few drinks, then a few more and more... It was good fun!
We have also joined a gym, so will try and get fit and healthy before our return to the UK next year!

Road trips are cool!! So is Australia.....(Steve)
As our last post was sometime ago and not the most positive one we've done, its really nice to be able to say that we have settled in much more now, and despite the fact that we have returned to reality, yes, we have jobs, and guess where? A Bank!! Who would've guessed???
This weekend was one of the best so far in Oz, and no alcohol involved. We decided a break from the city was in order, the famous Great Ocean Road is only 120kms from Melbourne so we hired a car and headed off on Saturday morning. The road stretches from Torquay all the way to Wannaburra (I think) some 300 kms towards Adelaide. It is without doubt the most exilerating road I have ever driven along (sadly in an automatic Mitsubishi Lancer) with shockingly stunning scenery, the pictures below dont really do any of it justice.
The sea off Southern Australia is very strong and has the best surfing in Oz, apparently. But as we cant do that we stared at the 'swells' and marvelled at the power of the sea, along with some very rugged coastline. The 12 Apostles were a wonderful sight, although you cant actually see all 12 unless you charter a helicopter nearby, a rather expensive option sadly.
Another stunning sight was the Bay of Martyrs another 100k's along, amazing in the dark!! We rented a log cabin in a trailer park (classy!!) and then found a pub in Boggy Creek, interestingly called Boggy Creek Pub, in the middle of nowhere, and I mean nowhere. Shame I had to drive really, as it would have been funny getting plastered with the locals who were staring at the 'strangers' in their watering hole, but never mind. Sunday morning and we start the long trek back to Melbourne, but not without stopping at a small wildlife park where we met and fed the inhabitants, who included: Parrots, Deer, Emus, Wallabies, Kangaroos, more Deer, more Kangaroos, a Koala (sleeping), Donkeys, Peacocks, Goats, a Dingo and a cute sleepy Possum!! Oh, and they did lovely Devonshire Tea and Scones as well-the owners that is. Never having hand fed a Kangaroo, a Fallow Deer or any of the others it was a cool way to finish the trip for 3 of us. Back to work tomorrow for another dose of 'real world', but its money isnt it??
Love to everyone who reads this, and get yer ass's down under, it cool!!
